Langston Hughes’s “Life is Fine” Lyrics by Ms. Baaith

0

I went down to the river
I set down on the bank
I tried to think but couldn't
So I jumped in and sank
I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!
I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down
I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died
But it was High up there! It was high!
So since I'm still here livin'
I guess I will live on
I could've died for love--
But for livin' I was born
Though you may hear me holler
And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby
If you gonna see me die
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!
